OpenlineBlog has learned current Kane County Board Member Bonnie Lee Kunkel, who represents most of West Aurora in District 4 (click on map for larger version), will withdraw as a candidate for the November 2012 election.

Ms. Kunkel, a longtime local attorney and Democrat, was scheduled to face Republican candidate Beth Goncher.

Interesting. There seems to be something about representing the number 4 -- 4th district, 4th ward -- that causes people to drop out of races, abandoning those who have been supporting them and looking forward to electing those people. Maybe a new term for the political dictionary. Let's call it "pulling a Lawrence."
